Our Little Beehive
Blog of the Month - September 2011
Since purchasing their colonial style house in the Washington, D.C. area in 2009, F and S have been busy with a whole variety of DIY home improvements and crafty projects mixed in with a bunch of tasty recipes that make our mouths water just reading about them! Most recently, they’ve just completed their project to finish their basement, including a new staircase, a pantry, a den / sewing room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry closet and some storage. Whew … just reading about it is enough to make use exhausted! Now they’re tackling an even bigger project - a bedroom renovation just in time for a new addition to their family - and we’re looking forward to reading more about both. Be sure to check out the latest happenings at Our Little Beehive through the posts linked below!

So this is disgusting, but apparently there’s a big old rat problem in our county. Not mice, but rats. Big Fat Rats. As you may know we have (had) a pretty cool squirrel-proof bird feeder in one of our gardens. I loved watching our birds feed from it until one night in May when I looked out around dusk and there w...

Baby M and I are spending some time in Maine this summer and while the rest of the country is roasting, we’ve been living in resort-like conditions. Baby M and I go swimming in the pool every afternoon and then take a shower in the outdoor pool-side shower. With the open roof and the birds chirping, it really feels like...

We had a little scare with the foods recently. Baby M has been eating toast and eggs and all things once reserved for babies over a year old (except honey), but now okay'd by the AAP for babies 6 months and older. Then a couple Sundays ago baby M was very sick. He threw up huge amounts several times until there was...Baby Bee's BIG Baby Nursery

After building baby M's crib and getting over our initial shock over how much larger a crib is than a cradle, we got to work rearranging furniture to make our new BIG baby nursery.We placed the crib under the "balloons" where the cradle was originally. It's the only wall without a window and therefore the only safe spot...

S helped the delivery driver bring the 83 pound box up our...

Special thank you to my work - the Amex gift card they gave me at my baby shower last fall just bought this crib:It's the Baby Mod Parklane from WalMart. I used ebates and got 1% cash back (every little bit counts!) applied a $9 store...

One of my favorites houses in our neighborhood has a little patio that I love. I stare at their little shaded oasis like a stalker ever time Feeney and I walk past their house. A few weeks ago I realized that what I like most about their patio is the navy blue umbrella that always seems to be open in the morning. So a...
